We have seen this a couple of times and we love it. So many great actors and a good plot. I don´t like everything Tarantino does, but some of his will be (or already are) classics.
ReplyDeleteTarantino is a director worth trying. I'm like you that I like some better than others, but I want to try them all. Have you seen his latest? I'll pick it up once it's available at a decent price on DVD.
Delete"The hateful eight"? No, I have not, but it seems to have done well here over Christmas. It was all Star Wars for me, but I´m sure we will see it eventually.
DeleteYes, I had some interest in seeing it in the theater, but not enough to actually do it.
DeleteI never got to see that film, but Tarantino is one of my favorite directors. I remember I saw Pulp Fiction and someone asked why there had to be so much violence. I thought the guy didn't get it. I am sorry I missed this one. Tarantino sure likes Jackson.
ReplyDeleteMy son found this one on dvd for cheap at the local shop. I love those bargain bins. It's interesting how some directors like working with certain actors.
